Damien_Da 0 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Well first I have to say that I have no job at the moment and shouldn't of been playing poker but had about 45 bucks on me. So I thought I'd sit down with about 30 in one of the .50/1 games around here. One of the hand I tried a bluff... bet the flop, my friend calls. Bet the turn, my friend calls. Bet the river... my friend turns over a K for top pair. He asks if that scares me... I just sit there and stare at the board and I think that is what gave away my bluff. So he calls... I ask to see his other card and he had a 3... soooo. Did he have a lack of respect... or just for sure know that I had nothing? He's a pretty decent player and I'm not sure if he got better... or lost respect for my bets. Another hand... I raise to 6 with AJ mainly not wanting to really see a flop because there were about 3 or 4 limpers. He calls with position on me with 7s10s. The flop of course is a good flop for me... hypothetically. A710. He fires out 15 and that's what I have left... I'm not putting him on AK or anything relatively high... he probably wouldl've reraised. BUT, I can put him on A10.. which I shrugged and said... if you have A10 you got me and he turns over 710. I like him calling the raise... but is he just straight up outplaying me? I used to give this guy advice but I think he got better and this is prolly the firs time I'm admitting getting outplayed in this game. AND, is there any advice someone can give me to NOT play poker... it's an addiction and I don't want to play without a bankroll because I think that's the worst thing you could do and that's sadly how I've been playing for the passed 3 years. So my options are ... 1.) Save up a bankroll 2.) Quit completely 3.) ???? help me out if there is another option lolThanks! Link to post Share on other sites
thebenCA 0 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hard to comment on the hand without knowing how much you bet relative to the blinds and pot size on each street. As far as for your last question, you should try the $.01/$.02 games on pokerstars.

Damien_Da 0 Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 Well my bets on the bluff were $6, $6, $10. This is why I thought he had a lack of respect for me in the hand. Sorry I wasn't more clear kinda tired. But he is not the type of player to call someone down with a king and a weak kicker.PS isn't letting my debit card get through for some reason so I haven't been able to play online for awhile. I play freerolls but obviously their just crap shoots. Link to post Share on other sites
